ed mine on the Elk, about 5 miles
from Hampton, and have found the fin
est quantity Of the magnetic iron ore.
If the quality is there as appearances
indicate they will build railroad

E. 7. V. l. G. R. r. and there they in
tend building rolling mill and a 100
ton furnace. Last week at meeting
of the citizens in johnson City COM
mittee was appointed to see them and
present Johnson City's advantages
and see if they could be induced to
locate here, ]. L. Crandall and G. K.
Lide, as members of that committee,
met them at G. K. Lide d Co.'S ct ore
Tuesday evening. AS result of the
interview Messrs Teegarden & Finney
said they were not ready just now to
submit or receive propositions from
any place but when ready Johnson
City would be considered. They pro-
pose to locate where their interests
direct and Johnson City has the ad-
vantage OF any other place in this To-
cality by long odds.

The Johnson City Furniture Company
Under a New Management.

THE CAPITOL STOCK INCREASED TO
THIRTY-THoUsAND.
At a meeting of the stockholders
last Monday, the Johnson City Furni-
ture Company reorganized, as it were,
by increasing their capitol stock to thir-
ty thousand dollars, and electing new
directors and officers for the ensuing
year. The Company is now stronger
financially, than it has ever been and
the business hereafter, in all its
branches, will be pushed to its utmost.
Competent men have been engaged
to take charge of each department
and, believing that promptness is nee
essary to success in business, the com
pany will fill all orders with dispatch.
The pay day has been changed from
Saturday to Tuesday and the work
men will hereafter receive their wages
all in cash.
The directors for the ensuing year
are as follows: Col. T. E. Matson,
Geo. F. Buss, Grand Rapids, Mich,
J. E. Crandall, E. S. Wolfe, ]. L.
Grant, J. P. Hoppel and A. S. Mcneil,
Bristol, Tenn,
The company is differed az follows
Geo. F. Buss, President; J. L. Grant,
Vice President; J. P. Hoppel, Secreta.
ry; ]. f. Crandall, Treasurer.
A gentleman Of large experience in
the furniture business has been en-
gagged and will arrive shortly to take
charge.
This factory has been shipping two
or three car loads Of furniture a week
for some months, and ships as far
South as Birmingham, Ala, and sells
all through Virginia. They have &
capacity Of car load per day, and as
furniture can be manufactured here
cheaper than anywhere in the South
there is no reason why this company
should not be taxed to its utmost ca
pacity at an early day. During the
past year they have enlarged theii
factory building and store room until
it is now twice the size it was formerly
They have also added eight or ten Of
the newest and latest improved wood
working machines and now have the
best equipped furniture factory and
planning mill in East Tennessee.
They will lay in large quantity o.
lumber this fall and next spring viii
run full force of hands on building
material alone. They will not only
be able to supply johnson City but al
the surrounding towns.

EVERY CITIZEN SHOULD BE PROUD OF
THE RECORD.
THERE HAS BEEN NO BOOM,
ONLY A DETERMINATION
TO GoTO THE FRONT.
THE SECRET OF THIS MAGIC
GROWTH LIES IN THE FACT
THAT JOHNSON CITY is
Backed by the Finest Beds of Iron anc
Coal the World Affords.
The List Embraces Factories, Business
Houses and Dwellings, Built
and Improved.

Below will be found a complete list
of factories, business houses and dwell
ings built and improved in Johnson
City since January LIST, 1887 This list
has been prepared with great care and
is as near correct as possible to get it.
Other buildings are projected and some
have been let to contract but we have
only published what have actually
been built or are nearing completion.
The list shows an amount of building
that any town might be proud of.
There is not a town in East Tennessee,
of twice the population, can show such
a record.
This wonderful growth is easily ac-
counted for when it is known that the
Charleston, Cincinnati and Chicago
Railroad is building through the city
and will be completed within two
years. This road runs from Ironton,
on the Ohio River, to Charleston, S. c.,
a distance OF 631 miles. Twenty
miles north of Johnson City it runs
through the finest beds of coking coal
that has ever been found in America
and on the south traverses beds OF the
celebrated magnetic iron ores at a
distance of twenty miles from Johnson
City. In addition these facilities for
getting coal and iron to Johnson City
the East Tennessee and Western
North Carolina runs from here to the
famous Cranberry mines, only "a
miles away and can furnish unlimited
quantities of the best steel making orc
in America. With coal and iron on
either side and within such short dis
tances, it is only a question of time
when they will be brought together
and then there is nothing can keep
Johnson City from being the manu-
featuring center Of the South First

The New Depot.

In speaking Of the new union depot
a few days ago Col. C. H. Nimson,
Supt. OF the f. T. & w. n. C. R. R.,
told COMET reporter that his compa-
ny had been ready to build for some
time and were only waiting on the
E. 7. V. &. G. r. R. Col. Nimson is a
very liberal man and represents an
equally liberal corAbany. He now
proposes to build a stone depot out Of
the different colored granite to be
found in the famous gorge on their
line Of road. The stones are to be
left in their rough state. Such a
building would present a pleasing con
trast to the depot now at this place, or
at any place along the line of road.
Col. Nimson says his company will
quarry the stone and deliver it at
johnson City if the r. T. V. &C. R. r..
company will erect the building.
This is very liberal proposition, as
the quarrying and freight will be
more than half the cost Of building.
1t is to be hoped that the E. T. Y. &
G. R. r. company will accept and
give Johnson City depot worthy OF
the plac e,

a Government Telegraph.

While the Western Union monopoly
is settling itself in the saddle for long
ride on the public back, Senator Gull
lon reports that Congress is sure to
take up the question OF government
telegraph line. "a number OF bills
have been drafted" he says, and he
thinks proper measure will receive
general support
A proper measure will be bill es-
tablishing government telegraph
line, to be worked by the Post Office
Department, to have telegraph sta
ton at every post Office, and to charge
a uniform rate for the whole coun-
try,
When such line is in operation the
Western Union company, no longer a
monopoly, will still find enough to do.
1t will hold most of the mercantile
business and great deal of other
work but it will not be able to Cypress
the country with arbitrary charges
and a poor service.-N. Y Herald.

A Difference.

In another column we publish
comparative statements of the taxes
collected, fines assessed and collected,
by the different Recorders for the
first seven months of 1886 and 1887.
1t will be seen at glance that Mr..
Hart, the present Recorder, has
worked his office for all it is worth in
regard to fines and has collected the
taxes much closer than the Recorder
OF 1886. 1t takes money to run a cor,
poration and as the tax assessed is rea-
sonable it should be collected. No one
can deny that Mr.. H. c. Hart has
made good Recorder and the office
next year should be filled by just such
man.

fact is Gov. Taylor was not snubbed
